Tonight saw the launch of the CT Scanner appeal at the Pirelli Stadium.
Jim Morrison, Chairman of the Hospital, and Ben Robinson, Chairman of Burton Albion Football did a great double act around Hilda, Lady Clarke and Sir Trevor Brooking from the FA.
We heard important community reasons why we should get behind the Appeal and also detailed medical facts from top Consultant Mr Sheldon.
40% of patients are from South Derbyshire, indeed our daughter Harriet was born there, so it is my hospital too.
Please see the information below that will help you organise an event to raise money for this good cause, every hundred pounds adds up. Thank you.
